Ferrari 488

The 488, available in GTB coupé and Spider convertible forms, is Ferrari’s mid-engined supercar. Its turbo-charged V8 is still a point of contention among purists but there’s no denying that the Ferrari 488 is one of the finest driving cars on sale. Standard 488 not good enough for you? Maybe you should consider the hardcore 488 Pista that’s also available on order.

Ferrari 488 Quick Review

The 488 exudes aggression even if it’s not traditionally beautiful like many of Ferrari’s older mid-engined V8s. You do get a long list of (exorbitant) options to personalise your 488’s appearance, both on the outside and on the inside. The two-seat cockpit means serious business with all the controls arranged around the driver. You sit expectedly low but the view out is actually quite good.The 670hp Ferrari 488 is no toy but there’s a battery of electronics to ensure you are pointing in the right direction and to let you enjoy the car’s capabilities. Performance is simply otherworldly and acceleration is relentless. If anything, it’s that the blare from the 488’s exhausts doesn’t quite match the older 458’s shriek. The 488 handles with pin-point precision and will enthrall anyone with the skill (or bravery) to test its limits. Surprisingly, the Ferrari 488 is quite comfortable on our roads too; just remember to tick the option for the nose lifter.
